2024 Map of Stratton Reservoir

About this map

Sun Prairie Flats defines the eastern edge of this Phillips County landscape, a region marked by extensive water management and ranching infrastructure. The area is characterized by a series of named catchments such as Stratton Reservoir, First Creek Reservoir, and Skull Reservoir, which suggest the critical importance of water storage for livestock and agriculture in this semi-arid terrain. Local history is anchored at the Sun Prairie Cem near the junction of Holzhey Ln and Regina Rd. The map tracks several intermittent drainage systems including Second Creek, Third Creek, and Telegraph Creek, which carve through the land alongside features like Tank Coulee. This USGS topographic data illustrates a modern landscape still oriented around family-named landmarks and the vast open tracts of the township-and-range survey system.
